New Zealand in general and Golden Bay in particular are refreshingly safe destinations.

New Zealand so far has been free from terrorism attacks.

Our 4 children have all grown up being able to play safely on the beach and around our community!

EARTHQUAKE

The Kaikoura Earthquake woke us up about midnight on 14th November 2016, even though it was such a strong quake we are far enough away from the fault that we had no damage in Golden Bay.

Adrift and all of the rest of New Zealand outside the Christchurch region was not directly affected by the devastating earthquake on 22nd February 2011. (we didn't even feel the tremor).

Adrift In Golden Bay has contributed $1000 to the Christchurch Relief Fund, hopefully to help those families in Christchurch suffering from the effects of the devastation.

Golden Bay is well away from any active earthquake faults, these run along the Southern Alps, through the Marlborough Sounds and Wellington.

TSUNAMI

We are fortunate that Golden Bay is safe as it is protected by Farewell Spit and Abel Tasman National Park against tsunami and storm surges in the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea and that our property is elevated roughly 5 metres above high water.
